How We Make Our TOSTITOS® Tortilla Chips
Our recipe for TOSTITOS® starts with three simple all-natural ingredients - corn, corn oil and salt. The corn comes straight off the farm where our farmers grow the white corn used specially to make TOSTITOS®.
This is how it all comes together:
Grow - Start with 100% American-grown white corn harvested at the peak of ripeness.
Mill - Cook and soak the corn, and then grind it up into a soft masa corn dough.
Shape - Roll out the corn dough and cut into irregular bite-sized shapes.
Toast - Toast the dough to create extra flavor and different shapes and textures. (For TOSTITOS® SCOOPS!®, we toast first and then form the bowl-shaped scoop.)
Cook - Cook up the toasted chips in all-natural corn oil till they're light and crispy.
Season - Add a touch of salt and they're ready to crunch and dip.
From fresh off the farm, the corn has now become the toasted corn chip you know and love - ready to be packed up and delivered fresh to your local store.
